S1 played the local rec league sports growing up. He was never on championship team of any kind but they all got participation trophies. He didn’t care anything about those. We put them in the trash during the great closet clean out. I think we saved a trophy from a chess tournament he won (in 2nd grade!). His greatest “trophy” would prob. be his h.s football jeresy which still hangs on the wall in his room

S2 played all the little league sports and got plenty of participation trophies too. We have tossed most of those but did save the couple he got for playing on championship teams. I also saved a few jerseys from those years. They are a lot easier to store. He chose not to buy a letterman jacket in high sch. so I put his Varsity letter with the little football and bars in a shadow box and hung it on his wall surrounded by team pictures. He has his jersey on the wall. We also saved the tassels and medallions from h.s grad.

I think the stuff they did in high sch. is the most important. Neither one of mine really cared about a soccer trophy from 3rd grade.
